Interested in a TPAAK Band Program?
January brings new opportunities! We will begin a TPAAK Band, lead by Mrs.
Floyd and Mr. Forte and involve Northern Colorado Concert Band, a
community group who would like to help us grow our instrumental music
program. A member of this band has offered to help with grant writing!
Yay!
We need to confirm that students are available to come after school to
rehearse. Please fill out the survey below and return to Mrs. Floyd before
Friday, December 21st. We would like band to begin the week of January
14th.
All band students will need to purchase the book Essential Elements 2000
(available at Boomer Music). This method book may be used to supplement
private lesson material, and we will use this in addition to concert pieces.
Questions? Please speak to your private teacher or email lfloyd@tpaak.org
